As systems scale to meet growing demands, databases must evolve alongside them to maintain performance and integrity. This document explores best practices for managing database changes, maintaining knowledge, and ensuring smooth integration. Topics covered include knowledge sharing, repository structuring, continuous integration, and database refactoring, with real-world examples illustrating their application.

Evolutionary database design: managing change and scaling with the system

Strategy design pattern, a behavioral design pattern that denote the functionality of a family of interchangeable classes to a interface, the context, with the helper objects, selects the appropriate implementation of the interface.

Strategy design pattern, the concept, use cases and difference with the state design pattern

Going through use cases of the prototype design pattern and it place among the creational patterns

Understanding and conveying software architecture can be a daunting task, especially when dealing with non-technical stakeholders or diverse development teams. This article delves into the challenges of traditional methods like complex UML diagrams and non-descriptive box-and-line drawings. We introduce the C4 model, a powerful framework that simplifies these challenges by using layered abstractions and visualizations. Explore how the model breaks down software architecture into comprehensible levels, Context, Container, Component, and Code, and offers guidelines on creating effective diagrams. Real-world examples illustrate the application of the C4 model, making it an invaluable tool for creating a shared understanding and ensuring clear, meaningful communication among all parties involved.
